Pacific Northwest Pest Alert Network

A New Announcement Alert has been posted to PNWPestAlert.Net

Potato All Locations

One psyllid collected last week from a yellow sticky card deployed at the Kimberly Research & Extension Center tested positive for Lso (liberibacter), the bacterium associated with zebra chip disease. No psyllids collected from commercial fields tested positive.

On Friday we will post details on our monitoring results from this week.

We continue to urge growers and crop consultants to implement IPM programs for zebra chip.
